Is it too early for eggs?

I'm 5 days post op and I wanted to purée an egg into my chicken for a puréed chicken salad, is it too early for that?

I'm only 6 days out and I'm not allowed to have meat yet, not even puréed. I'm on Protein shakes, yogurt, thinned not cereals, cottage cheese (which I'm told has too be mashed with a fork but I don't eat it anyway)and mashed potatoes.. I haven't attempted mashed potatoes yet. I thought puréed meat was around 15 days post op.

I got to add scrambled eggs at Day 25 post-op (and the actual plan doesn't let you do that until Day 28; my nutritionist just pushed everything up half-a-week because of my progress).

I haven't had any trouble with the eggs, but they are very different from foods in my earlier stage (string cheese, well-cooked green Beans, and cottage cheese) and a heck of a lot different than liquids. Even with my progress, there is no way I could have handled eggs at five days post-op.

I was allowed eggs at 10 days post op.

Check with your team, everyone's post op food plan is so different and varies from surgeon to surgeon.

What does your post-op plan from your bariatric team allow? That's what matters. Would have been too early on mine, I was ordered to be on liquids for four weeks post-op. But my plan really isn't relevant to you, only your plan should be relevant to you.

It's too early for both the chicken and the egg on my plan. You should check with your Team.

I had eggs around day 5, no problems. It really depends on the person and your program. Mine allowed it right away

As others have said, it's best to follow your own plan from your surgeon/NUT. That said, eggs and chicken became ok for me at 14 days post-op (full liquids only until then)

With my plan it was Clear Liquids 1 week, full liquids week 2, purees including eggs, chicken, tuna, Soup, refried Beans week 3, soft foods week 4 and regular food as tolerated after that.

Hi all. Hope everyone is doing well. I'm 7 days post op. And I'm feeling so much better. Definitely doing better with my liquids. It does get better with time. But Im definitely looking forward for puréed for next week. My program does require at least 2 weeks of liquid but I did try a little bit of plain mashed potatoes today. So far so good
